Standing using the tilt table allows a patient to be passively tilted to varying angles to the horizontal and is hypothesized to increase ventilation, increase arousal, improve weight bearing of the lower limbs, and facilitate antigravity exercise of the limbs.This technique is used as a precursor to standing when a patient has lower-limb weakness; it facilitates strengthening exercises of the upper and lower limbs.This service is available at Spinal Injuries Rehabilitation Center.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR STROKE PATIENTS.Higher intensity of practice appears to be an important aspect of effective physical therapy and suggestion is that intensity of practice is a key factor in meaningful training after stroke, and that more practice is better. 17 hours of therapy over a 10 week period has been found to be necessary for significant positive effects at both the body function level as well as activities. Yet despite the fact that National Clinical Guidelines advocate for at least 45 mins of therapy daily as long as there are rehabilitation goals and the patient tolerates this intensity, and recognition that high-intensity practice is better there still remains a big contrast between the recommended and actual applied therapy time. Recent surveys in the Netherlands show that patients with stroke admitted to a hospital stroke unit only received a mean of 22 minutes of physical therapy on weekdays. Similarly, in the United Kingdom inpatients received 30.6 minutes physical therapy per day. Both of these significantly fall short of the recommended 45 mins daily.

QUADRIPLEGIA OR TETRAPLEGIA DEFINITION
Quadriplegia, also known as tetraplegia, is a form of paralysis that affects all four limbs, plus the torso (“quad” originates from the Latin word for four). Most people with tetraplegia have significant paralysis below the neck, and many are completely unable to move.
This form of paralysis is typically the product of damage high in the spinal cord, usually in the cervical spine between C1-C7. The higher the injury is, the more extensive the damage will be. In fact, spinal cord injuries to the C1 and C2 vertebrae are often immediately fatal because of how they disrupt control over breathing and other critical functions.
You might think that total paralysis of the arms and legs requires damage to those limbs, but most quadriplegics have perfectly healthy (if somewhat atrophied) legs and arms. Instead, the problem usually begins in the brain or spinal cord (or both). The spinal cord is what relays signals to and from the brain, while the brain processes them and sends out new signals via the spinal cord. Thus a spinal cord injury prevents the brain from sending and receiving these signals, while a brain injury undermines the brain's ability to process them.
Think of it kind of like a computer: the CPU and motherboard would be the brain that receives and processes signals, while the cables connecting that motherboard to the keyboard, mouse, printer, monitor screen, etc. would be the nerves of the spinal cord that connect to the different parts of the body. If the cables get cut or even damaged slightly, the computer may not be able to work correctly. Meanwhile, damage to the CPU may cause much the same result.

What Are the Symptoms of Spasticity?
-Increased muscle tone
-Overactive reflexes
-Involuntary movements, which may include spasms (brisk and/or sustained involuntary muscle contraction) and clonus (series of fast involuntary contractions)
-Pain
-Decreased functional abilities and delayed motor development
-Difficulty with care and hygiene
-Abnormal posture
-Contractures (permanent contraction of the muscle and tendon due to severe persistent stiffness and spasms)
-Bone and joint deformities.

THE GOAL OF STROKE REHABILITATION is to help you relearn skills you lost when a stroke affected part of your brain. Stroke rehabilitation can help you regain independence and improve your quality of life.
The severity of stroke complications and each person's ability to recover vary widely. Researchers have found that people who participate in a focused stroke rehabilitation program perform better than most people who don't have stroke rehabilitation.
What's involved in stroke rehabilitation?
There are many approaches to stroke rehabilitation. Your rehabilitation plan will depend on the part of the body or type of ability affected by your stroke.
Physical activities might include:
Motor-skill exercises. These exercises can help improve your muscle strength and coordination. You might have therapy to strengthen your swallowing.
Mobility training. You might learn to use mobility aids, such as a walker, canes, wheelchair or ankle brace. The ankle brace can stabilize and strengthen your ankle to help support your body's weight while you relearn to walk.
Constraint-induced therapy. An unaffected limb is restrained while you practice moving the affected limb to help improve its function. This therapy is sometimes called forced-use therapy.
Range-of-motion therapy. Certain exercises and treatments can ease muscle tension (spasticity) and help you regain range of motion.
